HISLOP,
George▼Canada's▼ leading gay rights activist. George
HISLOP died peacefully
on Saturday, October 8, 2005 at Toronto Grace Hospital, on Church
Street. George was born in Swansea (now Toronto) on June 3, 1927,
the youngest
son of John
HISLOP and Ada
(MOFFITT)
HISLOP.
George▼
said that he never came out of the closet because he was never
in it. He always knew he was gay, and his family always loved
him unconditionally. George studied theater at the University
of Toronto, and spent his early years in the 1950's working on
stage and in television in London and Toronto. He met his great
love, Ronald
SHEARER, at Hanlan's Point in 1958. They were inseparable
until Ronald's untimely death in 1986 from complications following
cardiac surgery. George worked at a variety of jobs over the
years. For a time, George and Ronnie operated a design business
together. George also operated a number of other businesses over
the years, including Crispin's Restaurant, Buddy's Bar, the Selby
Hotel and Boots Bar, Bar racks Baths, Robert's Restaurant, Rogues
bar, Rawhide and George's Townhouse. He was editor of Sightlines
and Esprit magazines. George took an early interest in gay rights
activism, in which he played a leadership role all his life.
He was cofounder of the University of Toronto Homophile Association
in 1969, and the Community Homophile Association of Toronto in
1971. He helped organize the first gay rights demonstration on
Parliament Hill in 1971. He and Ronnie were the first openly
gay couple in Canada, and were featured on national television
and in Maclean's magazine. George was the first openly gay candidate
for public office in Canada, residence unning for alderman in 1980 and
for the provincial legislature in 1981. George was charged as
a 'keeper' during the notorious bath house raids of 1981, and
he was a leader in the successful resistance to that persecution.
He also lobbied Parliament for inclusion of gays and lesbians
in the Charter of Rights, and fought for the inclusion of sexual
orientation in Ontario's Human Rights Code. George was also concerned
with health issues affecting the L.G.B.T. community. He was on
the Board of the A.I.D.S. Committee of Toronto in the 1980's.
George was the first President of the Hassle Free Clinic, a post
he continued to hold at his death. In 2003, at the age of 76,
he spearheaded a national class action for Canada Pension Plan
same sex survivor's pensions which resulted in the largest class
action trial judgment in Canadian legal history, and the first
such award in the world for gays and lesbians. The trial judge
rightly described George as a 'legend'. He pursued all of his
causes with courageous persistence, with tremendous charm and
great humour. George also ser ved the City of Toronto as a member
of the Planning Advisory Board and later the Committee of Adjustments
for many years, the first openly gay person to be appointed to
civic office in Canada. George was proud to serve the city he
loved so much. He was a well-known amateur historian. The City
acknowledged his lifelong contribution by the creation of the
George Hislop Park in the heart of Toronto's lesbian and gay
community. George was honoured with many awards from his city
and his community. He was recognized as a community hero by the
Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto, and was Grand Marshall
of the Pride Parade in 2004. In 2005, he became the first recipient
of the Karl Heinrich Ulrichs Award from the International Lesbian
and Gay Law Association in recognition of his lifetime contribution
to the worldwide movement for lesbian and gay equality. George
was predeceased by Ronnie, by his parents and his two older brothers,
John and William. George's death is a great loss to his many
Friends in the L.G.B.T. community and beyond, around the world.
He is lovingly missed by his dear friend and volunteer caregiver,
Christopher
HUDSPETH, and by his nephews and nieces, Jim
HISLOP
and his wife
Wendy▼ of Mississauga, John and his wife Gail
HISLOP,
Bruce HISLOP,
Ann▼NORQUAY and husband John, Jo Ann
HISLOP, and
Susan HOLMSTOROM and husband Jim and by many grand nephews and
grand nieces. They were always proud of Uncle George. Friends
may call at the Rosar Morrison Funeral Home and Chapel, 467 Sherbourne
Street (South of Wellesley) on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 and
on Wednesday, October 12, 2005 from 6 until 9 p.m. A Party and
Tribute to George's life will be held on November 6, 2005 at
a location to be announced. There will be no Funeral Service
at George's request. In memory of George, donations to the Hassle
Free Clinic, Lesbian/Gay Community Appeal of Toronto, Egale or
to the Toronto Grace Hospital would be welcomed.
